A special event is in the planning to take place next year – the last military train ride from Manchester to Berlin.  In essence, it is an opportunity to travel by steam from Manchester to Berlin over a week, visiting sites in Germany that will be relevant to many who served in RAFG – a fascinating (and probably not to be repeated) staff ride across the BAOR/RAFG Cold War experience.

There is a growing profile for the RAF on the trip – it coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift.  The organisers, Cold War Express, are in negotiation to expand the train – and Corridor Convoy – to encompass the history of RAFG, thus making it a Joint Services train about the British on land, in the air, and in the community.
